More video: Huckabee rally

Actor and martial arts master Chuck Norris will be on hand when former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee stops in Waco Thursday, a campaign staff member said today.

The presidential candidate’s appearance at the Waco Hilton hotel has been moved back to 3:30 p.m. Huckabee will also spend some time in town filming campaign videos, the spokesman said.

Norris, star of the “Walker, Texas Ranger” television series, has been a fixture on the campaign trail with Huckabee. Norris owns a ranch near Navasota.

Oh yeah, and Huckabee is “Chuck Norris Approved.”

Huck’s ego will not let him walk away from the race. He needs to go back to his double wide in Arkansas. Hopefully McCain will not pick him as a running mate. And hopefully we can put a Democrat in the WH anyway.

Huckabee is still in the race because he believes that the people of the United States of america need to have a say in this election and not be told by the media who the nominee is going to be.

Mike Huckabee is a smart man. His background is in media and marketing prior to filling a pulpit.He has come from a relative unknown to a national figure.He is young. Regardless of what happens in this election, he could well be positioning himself for future elections.

This reminds me of the Geico commercials where they hire has-been celebrities to speak for the person in the ad.

My vote is Mike Huckabee. Texas votes can undo the mess created by too many conservatives splitting the early delegate pie and letting McCain in. McCain can’t win in the Republican Convention unless he gets there with the delegates before hand. He only has about 800 real votes now despite what our governor and his campaign people say. Huckabee is the only candidate running with strong governing experince and an ever consistent position on the dignity and rights of people, the strict constitutional interpretation and a smart tax plan that is not a warmed over story of what we already have.

Has anyone ever been in a student council president election when you were in elementary or junior high? You know the kind where the popular kid makes a lot of promises that he can’t deliver because there is a school board that won’t allow it? Might as well call Mike Huckabee the kid who is promising to get rid of anything healthy from the menu. Big words with little meaning. I moved here from Arkansas several years ago. Mike Huckabee raised the taxes in Arkansas every chance he got. He also granted clemency and backed for the parole of a convicted rapist, who upon being released killed and raped again. Let me also say that his nice appearance he has now was nonexistent then, unless you had money in your pockets. That’s not to mention his radical views. He’s a joke, with a very bad punchline. At least he has his good buddy Chuck Norris to help him out, right? I mean it always helps your odds to have a washed up celebrity on your side.

A scurrulous tv newsreporter said that Governor Mike Huckabee’s issues are like “squirrels roasting in a popcorn popper” Check for yourself at www.mikehuckabee.com.

Mike Huckabee is the best candidate to lead America forward into the future, diplomatic enough to create international calm He will fight for traditional family values; massive tax reform; free enterprise; small business; strong national defense; cutting federal spending; strong economic plan and foreign policy; returning jobs to America; utilizing our talented scientists and engineers, and strong dedication to the Constitution of our Founding Fathers. He knows real change doesn’t start in Washington but in our hearts and when it does, anything is possible.

Mike Huckabee is a common man’s man, with a down-to-earth approach to our country’s problems who understands that our voices need to be heard.

Mike Huckabee is an outdoorsman, avid fisherman and hunter. He is a respected, fearless leader, the only candidate with succesful executive experience running a government for over 10 years. As governor of Arkansas, he was responsible for broad-based tax cuts; welfare reform that reduced welfare rolls by 50%; successful workforce education; property tax reform; a Healthy American initiative; access to health care coverage for small businesses and their employees. Known for his focus on technology, he created advancements that have made Arkansas a technology leader.

Imagine having a president who is witty and articulate and principled and genuine and experienced, caring and compassionate, who gets things done, says what he means and does what he says If Mike Huckabee is elected President, he will lead this nation with pure excitement and honor. VOTE FOR MIKE HUCKABEE.

Mike Huckabee has a closet full of skeletons from ethics complaints to illegal immigration to tax increases to his son’s torture of a dog and his support for releasing convicted rapist Wayne Dumond who then raped and killed a woman. Please do your homework if you are thinking of voting for Huckabee!
